I am not sure if there is such build, the oldest OFED build I see is for ubuntu14.10. ubuntu12.04 is really old.

Because once you install MLNX_OFED it needs to backport patches, so the base version is important.

Upstream-libs means the DPDK works w/ rdma-core library instead of legacy verbs which exists only on Mellanox OFED.

That will be v17.05
